1
00:00:25,874 --> 00:00:29,291
With the passing of Tomasz,
a faithful child of God,
2
00:00:29,791 --> 00:00:35,916
we stand bereft not merely of his wisdom,
prudence and brilliant wit,
3
00:00:36,416 --> 00:00:40,579
but we also mourn a part of the old world
and its sacred traditions,
4
00:00:40,583 --> 00:00:45,745
which are now being dismantled
by the current doctrines of Western Europe
5
00:00:45,749 --> 00:00:50,124
that seek to disrupt the divine order.
6
00:00:51,249 --> 00:00:53,787
Like the guillotines that fell
7
00:00:53,791 --> 00:00:58,412
upon the necks
of innocent aristocrats in France,
8
00:00:58,416 --> 00:01:02,208
they wish to strike at
the very foundations of our age-old order.
9
00:01:02,791 --> 00:01:05,162
That is why it is so imperative...
10
00:01:05,166 --> 00:01:08,579
-Again, so that I understand.
-that we remember...
11
00:01:08,583 --> 00:01:10,499
You claim
12
00:01:11,499 --> 00:01:16,458
that the renowned and respected merchant,
Stanisław Wokulski,
13
00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:21,620
is responsible for the burning
of the barges and machinery
14
00:01:21,624 --> 00:01:23,912
co-owned by your father.
15
00:01:23,916 --> 00:01:25,245
Late father.
16
00:01:25,249 --> 00:01:27,708
Now, in the sacred memory of Tomasz,
17
00:01:28,291 --> 00:01:31,745
let us pray for our sins, let us beg...
18
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:36,412
And you assert
that he risked his reputation
19
00:01:36,416 --> 00:01:39,120
so that you might become his wife.
20
00:01:39,124 --> 00:01:40,833
Why else would he do it?
21
00:01:41,999 --> 00:01:43,041
I already explained.
22
00:01:43,916 --> 00:01:44,916
Did I not?
23
00:01:45,791 --> 00:01:46,708
Yes.
24
00:01:49,458 --> 00:01:52,999
Well, thank you.
We will look into the matter.
25
00:01:57,583 --> 00:01:58,583
Thank you.
26
00:02:00,208 --> 00:02:01,041
Miss Izabela.
27
00:02:01,999 --> 00:02:05,287
Does this Stanisław Wokulski bear
28
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:08,333
any resemblance to the man in this sketch?
29
00:02:13,374 --> 00:02:14,416
That's him.
30
00:02:16,791 --> 00:02:17,791
That's him!
31
00:02:20,624 --> 00:02:26,704
Mea culpa, mea culpa,
mea maxima culpa. Amen.
32
00:02:26,708 --> 00:02:30,791
THE DOLL
33
00:02:37,208 --> 00:02:39,041
Dessert will be served shortly.
34
00:02:41,333 --> 00:02:42,833
Excuse me for a moment.
35
00:02:44,916 --> 00:02:46,874
Of course, I am well aware
36
00:02:47,999 --> 00:02:50,874
how convenient it would be
if I simply disappeared
37
00:02:52,541 --> 00:02:54,666
and ceased to be
38
00:02:55,749 --> 00:02:57,416
your social problem.
39
00:02:59,249 --> 00:03:00,874
The disgrace of the family.
40
00:03:02,833 --> 00:03:06,458
"What is the matter with Bela?"
41
00:03:09,374 --> 00:03:10,499
Excuse me.
42
00:03:19,249 --> 00:03:20,454
Ladies and gentlemen...
43
00:03:20,458 --> 00:03:23,579
Bela, come along.
They're serving the dessert.
44
00:03:23,583 --> 00:03:25,499
I shall be with you in a moment.
45
00:03:26,499 --> 00:03:27,958
To the deceased.
46
00:03:29,749 --> 00:03:33,083
I shall set aside
the largest portion for you.
47
00:03:40,708 --> 00:03:41,916
Please accept
48
00:03:42,708 --> 00:03:45,458
my deepest,
49
00:03:46,041 --> 00:03:48,874
deepest condolences.
50
00:03:49,374 --> 00:03:50,870
Thank you.
51
00:03:50,874 --> 00:03:52,749
I only wish to say
52
00:03:53,958 --> 00:03:58,495
that you have never been
a problem for me, miss,
53
00:03:58,499 --> 00:04:00,708
and you shall never be, of course.
54
00:04:01,833 --> 00:04:03,162
Thank you, Baron.
55
00:04:03,166 --> 00:04:08,579
Should... you ever find yourself
in need of assistance, my dear,
56
00:04:08,583 --> 00:04:10,662
in any matter whatsoever,
57
00:04:10,666 --> 00:04:12,954
I am entirely at your service.
58
00:04:12,958 --> 00:04:18,916
Unfortunately, I must leave now,
for duty summons me.
59
00:04:21,291 --> 00:04:23,833
You may call for me at any hour.
60
00:04:24,916 --> 00:04:25,958
Excuse me.
61
00:04:31,041 --> 00:04:33,291
As the Bible says,
62
00:04:34,499 --> 00:04:38,208
"There is a time to laugh
and a time to weep."
63
00:04:39,416 --> 00:04:43,958
"Let the dead bury the dead."
64
00:04:45,916 --> 00:04:49,166
Mortuos suos...
65
00:05:01,583 --> 00:05:04,329
Please accept my condolences once again.
66
00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:06,370
And mine also.
67
00:05:06,374 --> 00:05:07,370
My respects.
68
00:05:07,374 --> 00:05:08,916
Miss Izabela.
69
00:05:29,083 --> 00:05:29,916
My dear.
70
00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:36,041
Surely, you did not think...
71
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:39,333
that we would leave you on your own.
72
00:05:43,708 --> 00:05:46,249
Looking to the future,
73
00:05:47,374 --> 00:05:48,916
and of your own free will,
74
00:05:49,999 --> 00:05:52,333
you consented to place yourself
75
00:05:52,833 --> 00:05:56,870
under the protection of Duke Rudnicki,
should your father pass away.
76
00:05:56,874 --> 00:05:57,708
Yes.
77
00:05:59,624 --> 00:06:04,124
It is perhaps the single sensible thing
you have done this past year.
78
00:06:04,958 --> 00:06:07,666
We are quite concerned for you, my dear.
79
00:06:11,249 --> 00:06:12,541
You are one of us,
80
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:20,083
but your recent behaviour leads us
to a sad conclusion.
81
00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:23,541
Neurasthenia.
82
00:06:24,749 --> 00:06:29,787
It is the inevitable result
of the feverish pace of modern life.
83
00:06:29,791 --> 00:06:34,166
Doctor Mitchell,
the world-renowned specialist,
84
00:06:34,666 --> 00:06:40,079
recommends his treatment
of lying down in total isolation,
85
00:06:40,083 --> 00:06:42,829
and the complete cessation
of all activity,
86
00:06:42,833 --> 00:06:44,083
even reading.
87
00:06:46,499 --> 00:06:50,870
For the time being,
we shall send you to the Carmelite convent
88
00:06:50,874 --> 00:06:53,416
so that you may recover.
89
00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:57,791
For the time being? Meaning?
90
00:06:58,458 --> 00:07:00,166
Until you are recovered.
91
00:07:01,666 --> 00:07:05,416
The Prioress will decide
when you can come back to us.
92
00:07:06,624 --> 00:07:07,791
I object.
93
00:07:08,374 --> 00:07:09,916
Dear Izabela,
94
00:07:10,499 --> 00:07:11,374
enough.
95
00:07:12,874 --> 00:07:14,416
Pack your things, my dear.
96
00:07:15,124 --> 00:07:19,291
The Prioress and the Duke
will escort you to the convent.
97
00:07:24,458 --> 00:07:27,416
Aunt, but... how? What?
98
00:07:29,291 --> 00:07:30,416
Aunt, do something.
99
00:07:36,999 --> 00:07:37,833
Florcia?
100
00:07:38,541 --> 00:07:39,541
Yes?
101
00:07:50,958 --> 00:07:54,579
Oh! May I... ask a question?
102
00:07:54,583 --> 00:07:56,291
Of course, Mr Wokulski.
103
00:07:56,791 --> 00:07:59,249
Do you like being a waiter?
104
00:08:00,958 --> 00:08:04,333
-I cannot complain.
-He cannot complain.
105
00:08:05,874 --> 00:08:09,454
What do you mean, you cannot?
You're a fucking waiter!
106
00:08:09,458 --> 00:08:12,370
-Stach! Be calm.
-Quite so.
107
00:08:12,374 --> 00:08:13,745
Hey!
108
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:17,083
You may play something nice.
109
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:20,916
How do people do it?
110
00:08:21,416 --> 00:08:25,541
How do they do it? How are they happy
with their own nature? How?
111
00:08:26,124 --> 00:08:29,454
How do they sleep soundly
without asking themselves
112
00:08:29,458 --> 00:08:31,245
if they're a despicable shit?
113
00:08:31,249 --> 00:08:33,749
How do they do it? I desire the same.
114
00:08:34,999 --> 00:08:38,499
But I am entirely incapable.
I never could achieve it.
115
00:08:40,624 --> 00:08:42,833
Since I was a child,
I've looked at others,
116
00:08:43,333 --> 00:08:48,912
and I've wanted to be like them,
the well-born and the fucking well-to-do,
117
00:08:48,916 --> 00:08:53,416
those more relaxed,
those... beautiful people, and for what?
118
00:08:55,458 --> 00:08:56,416
Well,
119
00:08:56,916 --> 00:08:58,495
I did everything...
120
00:08:58,499 --> 00:09:00,120
Fucking hell.
121
00:09:00,124 --> 00:09:02,041
I did everything...
122
00:09:03,041 --> 00:09:07,791
I did everything to be like them,
like their kind.
123
00:09:09,208 --> 00:09:10,874
And what has come of it?
124
00:09:11,458 --> 00:09:12,916
It was too much.
125
00:09:14,416 --> 00:09:15,249
And
126
00:09:16,291 --> 00:09:18,416
it involved too much malice.
127
00:09:21,708 --> 00:09:24,041
She won't call me "Staszek" again.
128
00:09:25,249 --> 00:09:27,745
She will never call me "Staszek" again.
129
00:09:27,749 --> 00:09:29,583
You did nothing wrong, Stach.
130
00:09:31,291 --> 00:09:34,079
That is to say... you did.
131
00:09:34,083 --> 00:09:34,995
I did.
132
00:09:34,999 --> 00:09:39,620
But nothing that would cause Miss Łęcka
to refuse to see you.
133
00:09:39,624 --> 00:09:43,291
I destroyed everything you built.
I've ruined all your efforts.
134
00:09:44,416 --> 00:09:49,166
-I'm deeply sorry.
-Ignaś, you fool!
135
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:55,204
Ignaś, I don't blame you for any of it.
136
00:09:55,208 --> 00:09:59,583
I left everything on your shoulders.
The department store, the auction and...
137
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:03,749
Stach.
138
00:10:05,499 --> 00:10:07,291
You should leave.
139
00:10:07,791 --> 00:10:09,999
I should leave only for my grave.
140
00:10:10,499 --> 00:10:12,541
There would be peace and quiet.
141
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:21,333
I'm wondering... what the headstone
for that grave should say.
142
00:10:23,708 --> 00:10:24,662
My dear Staś...
143
00:10:24,666 --> 00:10:27,787
-Stach.
-Julek!
144
00:10:27,791 --> 00:10:29,454
Stach, get up.
145
00:10:29,458 --> 00:10:31,954
-No! Get up, Stach.
-Get up.
146
00:10:31,958 --> 00:10:34,874
Not like that, Stach!
147
00:10:36,083 --> 00:10:40,374
-Hold on. Let me take Stach.
-It is quite all right.
148
00:10:56,083 --> 00:10:57,708
Bela.
149
00:10:59,416 --> 00:11:01,666
You didn't eat the dessert.
150
00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:07,083
I saved the best piece just for you.
151
00:11:16,374 --> 00:11:17,791
Thank you, Florcia.
152
00:11:23,624 --> 00:11:27,624
You may tell the Prioress
that I shall be ready in a moment.
153
00:11:29,833 --> 00:11:32,958
Are... you going somewhere?
154
00:11:34,458 --> 00:11:35,458
Yes.
155
00:11:38,416 --> 00:11:39,749
Haven't you heard?
156
00:11:45,374 --> 00:11:47,499
I must have missed it.
157
00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:51,958
Too much has occurred today.
158
00:11:57,833 --> 00:11:59,958
I know where you are going.
159
00:12:02,291 --> 00:12:03,916
To Paris.
160
00:12:06,249 --> 00:12:08,541
I guessed the truth, did I not?
161
00:12:11,208 --> 00:12:12,666
I guessed it.
162
00:12:18,499 --> 00:12:19,791
Yes, Florcia.
163
00:12:23,541 --> 00:12:24,999
To Paris.
164
00:12:26,291 --> 00:12:27,499
My, my.
165
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:31,958
Do not tell a soul.
166
00:13:15,458 --> 00:13:17,958
The young lady is making her preparations.
167
00:13:55,041 --> 00:13:56,874
Am I dead?
168
00:14:01,583 --> 00:14:02,999
I am dead.
169
00:14:21,874 --> 00:14:24,166
Don't mind me. Continue.
170
00:14:27,749 --> 00:14:28,958
Miss.
171
00:14:30,124 --> 00:14:32,208
If anyone asks, I was never here.
172
00:14:33,666 --> 00:14:34,499
Thank you.
173
00:15:11,249 --> 00:15:14,291
Help the homeless.
174
00:15:39,208 --> 00:15:42,374
Good evening.
I am looking for Zofia Dobska.
175
00:15:43,374 --> 00:15:44,454
She works here.
176
00:15:44,458 --> 00:15:46,079
She's not here.
177
00:15:46,083 --> 00:15:47,245
Zofia Dobska.
178
00:15:47,249 --> 00:15:48,249
Not here.
179
00:15:49,291 --> 00:15:50,624
Where might she be found?
180
00:15:51,124 --> 00:15:52,249
Not here.
181
00:15:55,291 --> 00:15:56,624
May I stay here?
182
00:15:58,374 --> 00:16:00,333
You want to stay here?
183
00:16:37,583 --> 00:16:40,454
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
184
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:45,916
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb...
185
00:18:50,499 --> 00:18:51,749
I cannot believe it.
186
00:19:11,083 --> 00:19:12,583
What do you intend to do?
187
00:19:15,083 --> 00:19:16,083
I do not know.
188
00:19:21,791 --> 00:19:24,666
You may stay at my lodgings if you wish.
189
00:19:25,291 --> 00:19:26,291
Do not run!
190
00:19:32,083 --> 00:19:36,416
At least until you find
something... better.
191
00:19:37,708 --> 00:19:38,749
Thank you.
192
00:19:40,833 --> 00:19:42,666
I must attend to my duties now.
193
00:19:46,541 --> 00:19:48,958
All right. You are going to help me.
194
00:19:49,458 --> 00:19:51,583
Get up.
195
00:20:03,333 --> 00:20:05,495
Hey, you there! Come here.
196
00:20:05,499 --> 00:20:07,041
Why are you limping?
197
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:09,499
Show me your leg.
198
00:20:10,374 --> 00:20:15,162
Heavens. All right. You are coming with me
to the infirmary. I shall bandage it.
199
00:20:15,166 --> 00:20:18,704
-You'll hack off my leg, not bandage it.
-How dare you!
200
00:20:18,708 --> 00:20:21,454
I shall take your head off.
Can you endure it?
201
00:20:21,458 --> 00:20:22,708
Come along. Let's go.
202
00:20:23,458 --> 00:20:24,416
Yes.
203
00:21:05,166 --> 00:21:07,287
-Where did you get that?
-I found it.
204
00:21:07,291 --> 00:21:09,124
-Where?
-By the river.
205
00:21:09,624 --> 00:21:12,370
You could not have.
I had it with me all the while.
206
00:21:12,374 --> 00:21:16,579
If you had it with you all the while,
you would have it now.
207
00:21:16,583 --> 00:21:17,745
It is my necklace.
208
00:21:17,749 --> 00:21:20,912
-No, it's mine!
-Give it back! You have no right to it!
209
00:21:20,916 --> 00:21:22,791
-She hit me!
-Give it back!
210
00:22:21,416 --> 00:22:24,374
Take my bed tonight.
I will think of a solution tomorrow.
211
00:22:24,874 --> 00:22:25,958
What about you?
212
00:22:26,749 --> 00:22:28,041
I shall manage.
213
00:22:39,249 --> 00:22:40,499
Are you asleep?
214
00:22:59,666 --> 00:23:00,833
Are you asleep?
215
00:23:04,208 --> 00:23:07,124
Not now, given that you're shaking me.
216
00:23:09,916 --> 00:23:11,291
I can't fall sleep.
217
00:23:16,916 --> 00:23:19,624
Everything hurts.
I think my nose is broken.
218
00:23:22,833 --> 00:23:24,374
It's not broken.
219
00:23:25,249 --> 00:23:26,499
But it hurts.
220
00:23:29,749 --> 00:23:30,916
It hurts.
221
00:23:33,791 --> 00:23:36,329
On a scale of one to ten,
how much does it hurt?
222
00:23:36,333 --> 00:23:37,458
Ten.
223
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:39,495
Certainly not ten.
224
00:23:39,499 --> 00:23:41,749
Maybe not ten, but a lot.
225
00:24:16,249 --> 00:24:18,333
Can you sleep with me tonight?
226
00:24:19,916 --> 00:24:21,083
All right.
227
00:24:22,124 --> 00:24:23,124
Thank you.
228
00:24:25,416 --> 00:24:26,833
And I am sorry.
229
00:24:39,958 --> 00:24:42,124
I have no one else.
230
00:24:43,624 --> 00:24:45,041
Only you.
231
00:24:52,708 --> 00:24:55,499
All will be well.
Everything shall be well.
232
00:25:46,916 --> 00:25:48,999
Why did you open the door yourself?
233
00:25:50,416 --> 00:25:51,791
Where are the servants?
234
00:25:54,124 --> 00:25:55,541
They are off duty today.
235
00:25:58,249 --> 00:26:00,416
We are all off duty.
236
00:26:01,958 --> 00:26:03,208
It is rather like...
237
00:26:06,083 --> 00:26:06,916
the carnival.
238
00:26:08,999 --> 00:26:10,083
And Bela?
239
00:26:10,583 --> 00:26:13,416
Bela's whole life was a carnival.
240
00:26:14,749 --> 00:26:15,749
Where is Bela?
241
00:26:16,416 --> 00:26:17,624
In Paris.
242
00:26:18,374 --> 00:26:19,791
Where in Paris?
243
00:26:20,749 --> 00:26:23,458
Somewhere in Paris.
I cannot say. I have never been.
244
00:26:26,083 --> 00:26:29,745
Kazia, would you like some cognac with...
245
00:26:29,749 --> 00:26:31,916
Compose yourself, for God's sake.
246
00:26:42,958 --> 00:26:45,833
I should like to, immensely.
247
00:26:51,541 --> 00:26:55,166
But for the time being,
248
00:26:56,833 --> 00:26:58,916
I have no one left to do it for.
249
00:27:00,999 --> 00:27:02,083
No one.
250
00:27:11,083 --> 00:27:12,083
Marianna.
251
00:27:13,583 --> 00:27:14,499
Yes?
252
00:27:16,249 --> 00:27:18,041
How about going to the circus?
253
00:27:20,541 --> 00:27:21,749
Go by yourself.
254
00:27:25,041 --> 00:27:26,416
Has something happened?
255
00:27:28,874 --> 00:27:30,499
What could have happened?
256
00:27:31,458 --> 00:27:33,083
Something is different.
257
00:27:34,833 --> 00:27:36,333
Different how?
258
00:27:38,291 --> 00:27:40,041
Lately, you've been so...
259
00:27:42,208 --> 00:27:43,208
unavailable.
260
00:27:48,291 --> 00:27:49,583
Go to a whore.
261
00:27:51,624 --> 00:27:53,458
They are always available.
262
00:28:45,541 --> 00:28:46,999
Is Wokulski not present?
263
00:28:47,499 --> 00:28:48,916
On what matter, ma'am?
264
00:28:49,499 --> 00:28:53,541
-Miss Łęcka.
-Then it's better for him not to know.
265
00:28:59,499 --> 00:29:03,499
How could you know what is better for him?
266
00:29:12,583 --> 00:29:15,541
I shall not leave
until you tell me where he is.
267
00:29:20,666 --> 00:29:23,083
And do not force me to forget my dignity.
268
00:29:25,083 --> 00:29:28,291
RÓŻA
269
00:29:35,999 --> 00:29:39,124
BELOVED RÓŻA
270
00:29:44,749 --> 00:29:45,583
MY RÓŻA
271
00:29:47,583 --> 00:29:48,416
DEAREST RÓŻA
272
00:29:49,208 --> 00:29:50,291
SWEETEST
273
00:30:00,624 --> 00:30:03,083
-Boss?
-Yes?
274
00:30:04,041 --> 00:30:07,916
I looked into that Wokulski fellow
Miss Łęcka was talking of.
275
00:30:11,833 --> 00:30:13,749
And it seems
276
00:30:14,791 --> 00:30:16,083
that he has vanished.
277
00:30:18,583 --> 00:30:20,041
-Really?
-Yes.
278
00:30:20,624 --> 00:30:23,249
He has not been seen in Warsaw
for two weeks.
279
00:30:31,916 --> 00:30:33,541
That is not all.
280
00:30:37,124 --> 00:30:38,958
No one knows where he has gone.
281
00:30:42,833 --> 00:30:44,541
A bit suspicious, isn't it?
282
00:30:47,124 --> 00:30:48,249
A bit.
283
00:30:52,333 --> 00:30:54,041
Should we track him down?
284
00:30:57,749 --> 00:30:59,666
Where do you intend to look first?
285
00:31:02,916 --> 00:31:04,079
I don't know.
286
00:31:04,083 --> 00:31:05,583
Neither do I.
287
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:11,208
Then we must wait for his return.
288
00:31:14,624 --> 00:31:16,124
A great idea.
289
00:31:32,124 --> 00:31:34,829
There may be
some topographical impediments.
290
00:31:34,833 --> 00:31:39,458
Slopes, recesses... It could be anything.
But the oil lies beneath us.
291
00:31:39,958 --> 00:31:41,412
We are walking on it.
292
00:31:41,416 --> 00:31:42,954
We must simply...
293
00:31:42,958 --> 00:31:45,745
See here. Let us suppose
this is our reservoir.
294
00:31:45,749 --> 00:31:49,829
Either the rock is not porous enough
and the permeability is too low,
295
00:31:49,833 --> 00:31:52,499
or it is a question of pressure.
296
00:31:53,416 --> 00:31:57,037
Therefore, for safety's sake,
we ought to drill further to the side.
297
00:31:57,041 --> 00:31:59,958
Because if this is rock,
and I presume it is...
298
00:32:01,124 --> 00:32:04,412
Mr Wokulski, we will work today,
299
00:32:04,416 --> 00:32:06,749
but tomorrow,
we cannot work without our wages.
300
00:32:07,541 --> 00:32:11,499
-When the oil flows, you will be paid.
-We want our payment upfront.
301
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:16,870
Strike oil, and I shall add
a quarter-day's wages to your pay.
302
00:32:16,874 --> 00:32:21,291
The first man to strike oil
shall receive fifty roubles from me.
303
00:32:24,874 --> 00:32:25,791
Fuck it.
304
00:32:26,291 --> 00:32:27,583
One hundred.
305
00:32:28,416 --> 00:32:30,079
-Promise.
-I promise.
306
00:32:30,083 --> 00:32:33,416
-One hundred roubles...
-Get to it! Work!
307
00:32:39,541 --> 00:32:43,620
I have already been half-drowned
in this wretched mire.
308
00:32:43,624 --> 00:32:45,370
I hate the countryside.
309
00:32:45,374 --> 00:32:48,249
{\an8}Yet your Wellingtons
are the height of fashion.
310
00:32:50,708 --> 00:32:52,958
When do you intend to return to Warsaw?
311
00:32:53,458 --> 00:32:54,624
To Bela?
312
00:32:56,124 --> 00:32:57,079
Not yet.
313
00:32:57,083 --> 00:33:01,079
I brought him here in a drunken stupor,
and behold. A brand-new Wokulski!
314
00:33:01,083 --> 00:33:02,287
He's happy.
315
00:33:02,291 --> 00:33:03,620
Congratulations,
316
00:33:03,624 --> 00:33:05,249
but it is time to return.
317
00:33:06,458 --> 00:33:08,041
Bela has disappeared.
318
00:33:11,708 --> 00:33:14,791
-She is not here.
-Well, I suspected as much.
319
00:33:15,583 --> 00:33:18,333
Perhaps you might assist in finding her.
320
00:33:19,499 --> 00:33:22,499
She would take no pleasure
in being found by me.
321
00:33:25,749 --> 00:33:27,541
People change.
322
00:33:28,041 --> 00:33:29,583
Only for the worse.
323
00:33:30,958 --> 00:33:34,874
Am I to understand
that your courage fails you in returning?
324
00:33:35,374 --> 00:33:37,329
-Perhaps.
-Aunt, enough.
325
00:33:37,333 --> 00:33:41,037
He has only just forgotten,
yet you are already reminding him.
326
00:33:41,041 --> 00:33:42,787
So, you have found a simple soul?
327
00:33:42,791 --> 00:33:45,829
You know about people,
but not about the trade.
328
00:33:45,833 --> 00:33:47,041
The heavy trade!
329
00:33:47,708 --> 00:33:49,995
-The oil trade.
-Yes.
330
00:33:49,999 --> 00:33:52,791
It's easier to penetrate
the earth with a drill
331
00:33:53,416 --> 00:33:55,249
than to care for a woman.
332
00:33:57,624 --> 00:34:02,208
I would rather study the oil trade than
the aristocracy. Oil is more interesting.
333
00:34:02,708 --> 00:34:06,162
And, unlike the aristocracy,
it has a future.
334
00:34:06,166 --> 00:34:07,083
Indeed.
335
00:34:09,708 --> 00:34:10,541
Checkmate!
336
00:34:20,958 --> 00:34:27,708
As I recall, you discouraged me
from placing... my feelings
337
00:34:28,416 --> 00:34:30,958
and investing my money in Miss Izabela.
338
00:34:31,999 --> 00:34:34,374
May I be perfectly frank with you?
339
00:34:38,249 --> 00:34:42,333
I am not in the least surprised
that you have lost your heart to Izabela.
340
00:34:43,374 --> 00:34:45,083
I have seen many such as you,
341
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:47,208
with better pedigree
342
00:34:48,999 --> 00:34:50,912
and finer features.
343
00:34:50,916 --> 00:34:55,374
Men far wealthier than you,
each of whom, one by one,
344
00:34:56,916 --> 00:34:59,499
made only greater fools of themselves.
345
00:34:59,999 --> 00:35:02,662
They lost their fortunes,
or attempted suicide,
346
00:35:02,666 --> 00:35:04,958
like that poor soul at the ball.
347
00:35:07,874 --> 00:35:10,745
I wanted to spare you their sad fate.
348
00:35:10,749 --> 00:35:12,958
That is very noble of you.
349
00:35:13,791 --> 00:35:16,916
I, unlike certain others among us,
350
00:35:17,416 --> 00:35:20,458
always regarded you as a good match.
351
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:29,995
I shall receive that as a compliment.
352
00:35:29,999 --> 00:35:31,791
Well, it is a compliment.
353
00:35:34,833 --> 00:35:37,791
There are few men
of whom I could say the same.
354
00:35:39,749 --> 00:35:41,208
Hey, are you so idle?
355
00:35:46,416 --> 00:35:49,208
However, I did not come here
to seduce you.
356
00:35:50,374 --> 00:35:53,916
I have long since known
that the matter is entirely hopeless.
357
00:35:54,874 --> 00:35:55,999
Besides,
358
00:35:56,999 --> 00:36:00,912
I am not accustomed
to being a man's afterthought,
359
00:36:00,916 --> 00:36:03,166
and I do not intend to change that.
360
00:36:06,541 --> 00:36:12,204
As I said, that men succumb
to Bela's charms is nothing new to me.
361
00:36:12,208 --> 00:36:14,083
I have witnessed it for many years.
362
00:36:14,749 --> 00:36:17,995
But for her to lose her senses over a man?
363
00:36:17,999 --> 00:36:21,333
I thought such a phenomenon
did not exist in nature.
364
00:36:22,041 --> 00:36:23,291
And yet...
365
00:36:28,749 --> 00:36:32,208
she loves you, Mr Wokulski.
366
00:36:33,916 --> 00:36:35,916
She may not know how to show it,
367
00:36:38,083 --> 00:36:39,499
but she will learn...
368
00:36:43,208 --> 00:36:46,124
if life should grant her
one final opportunity.
369
00:36:59,041 --> 00:37:02,124
I know it hurts. I know it does.
370
00:37:02,916 --> 00:37:04,166
Fetch the morphine.
371
00:37:08,291 --> 00:37:10,541
I know.
372
00:37:15,208 --> 00:37:16,708
And the syringe.
373
00:37:34,874 --> 00:37:35,749
The morphine.
374
00:37:53,583 --> 00:37:54,958
Fetch the morphine.
375
00:37:58,749 --> 00:37:59,749
Morphine.
376
00:38:02,499 --> 00:38:03,708
Morphine?
377
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:14,041
Morphine?
378
00:38:33,791 --> 00:38:35,291
Move aside.
379
00:38:35,791 --> 00:38:37,333
Let me pass.
380
00:38:38,124 --> 00:38:39,291
Izabela?
381
00:40:07,624 --> 00:40:08,624
Will you buy it?
382
00:40:24,833 --> 00:40:27,583
I am here, darling.
383
00:40:28,291 --> 00:40:29,458
There, there.
384
00:40:57,999 --> 00:40:59,416
At last,
385
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:01,833
you have returned.
386
00:41:10,166 --> 00:41:12,329
It took you two days to recover
387
00:41:12,333 --> 00:41:14,624
from the state
in which you were brought here.
388
00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:18,287
What do you mean?
389
00:41:18,291 --> 00:41:21,374
Were it not for your low-born companion,
390
00:41:22,708 --> 00:41:25,666
you might have joined your father.
391
00:41:26,499 --> 00:41:27,333
But...
392
00:41:27,833 --> 00:41:29,583
But I didn't wish to...
393
00:41:37,874 --> 00:41:40,995
This only confirms our suspicions
394
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:44,166
and shows Duke Rudnicki's decision
to be justified.
395
00:41:44,749 --> 00:41:47,662
Prioress, help to pack
the young lady's things.
396
00:41:47,666 --> 00:41:52,541
Within the convent, you will have
the necessary quiet to recover.
397
00:41:53,791 --> 00:41:55,458
There is another way.
398
00:41:56,166 --> 00:42:01,083
All Bela must do is sign the contract
obliging her to marry.
399
00:42:01,583 --> 00:42:03,333
-Whom?
-Whom?
400
00:42:10,791 --> 00:42:11,745
Never!
401
00:42:11,749 --> 00:42:16,370
A single signature will dissolve
the Duke's guardianship over you.
402
00:42:16,374 --> 00:42:18,958
-You are surely mad!
-There is no other way.
403
00:42:21,374 --> 00:42:24,079
-I am not so easily bought.
-Bela.
404
00:42:24,083 --> 00:42:25,291
Never.
405
00:42:25,791 --> 00:42:27,374
Bela, I beg your forgiveness.
406
00:42:30,083 --> 00:42:32,458
-I was a fool.
-Oh, yes. Unquestionably.
407
00:42:33,041 --> 00:42:36,537
The young lady has made herself clear.
You will leave us.
408
00:42:36,541 --> 00:42:37,579
Leave!
409
00:42:37,583 --> 00:42:41,166
As it happens, this flat,
indeed, the entire house, belongs to me.
410
00:42:42,791 --> 00:42:45,662
I kindly ask you
to get out of my fucking house.
411
00:42:45,666 --> 00:42:48,416
You... common boor.
412
00:42:49,124 --> 00:42:50,208
You also, Your Grace.
413
00:42:51,041 --> 00:42:52,333
Please.
414
00:42:53,583 --> 00:42:55,287
Out of your fucking house?
415
00:42:55,291 --> 00:42:57,541
If you would be so kind.
416
00:42:58,541 --> 00:42:59,749
Yes.
417
00:43:00,833 --> 00:43:02,745
Yes.
418
00:43:02,749 --> 00:43:07,749
The young lady is currently
under the Duke's guardianship.
419
00:43:08,416 --> 00:43:11,162
If we are to leave,
it will only be with her.
420
00:43:11,166 --> 00:43:15,458
Bela, for God's sake, sign the contract.
421
00:43:16,083 --> 00:43:18,416
It's just one signature.
422
00:43:27,374 --> 00:43:28,749
On one condition.
423
00:43:29,999 --> 00:43:31,374
I'll agree to any.
424
00:43:33,999 --> 00:43:35,541
You'll buy The Ivy for me.
425
00:43:39,666 --> 00:43:40,579
Agreed.
426
00:43:40,583 --> 00:43:42,291
-Do you promise?
-I promise.
427
00:45:03,333 --> 00:45:07,958
It is time to begin preparations
for the engagement.
428
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:12,708
Invitations need to be sent out.
429
00:45:13,249 --> 00:45:15,583
The newspapers need to be informed.
430
00:45:17,458 --> 00:45:18,624
No need.
431
00:45:19,666 --> 00:45:21,287
What do you mean, no need?
432
00:45:21,291 --> 00:45:24,041
People need to know in advance.
433
00:45:24,708 --> 00:45:29,624
Florcia, I intend a quiet betrothal.
No announcements, nor any parties.
434
00:45:30,416 --> 00:45:32,162
But there has to be a party.
435
00:45:32,166 --> 00:45:34,495
-It is the custom.
-There will be no party.
436
00:45:34,499 --> 00:45:37,745
Once Wokulski delivers his promise,
I will end the betrothal.
437
00:45:37,749 --> 00:45:39,999
I shall have The Ivy instead of a wedding.
438
00:45:41,874 --> 00:45:43,374
We will purchase The Ivy.
439
00:45:45,624 --> 00:45:47,041
That is to say, I will.
440
00:45:48,374 --> 00:45:50,291
Not personally, but by my means.
441
00:45:51,541 --> 00:45:53,291
It will be bought on my behalf.
442
00:45:54,583 --> 00:45:55,666
For us.
443
00:46:01,291 --> 00:46:02,124
How?
444
00:46:04,541 --> 00:46:08,041
We shall form a publishing cooperative,
or whatever the term may be.
445
00:46:08,999 --> 00:46:11,870
We shall each receive
an equal share of the magazine.
446
00:46:11,874 --> 00:46:14,287
We shall each have a voice
in its management.
447
00:46:14,291 --> 00:46:15,791
It's impossible.
448
00:46:17,124 --> 00:46:19,041
What if it actually is possible?
449
00:46:24,166 --> 00:46:28,874
The investor... is my...
450
00:46:29,958 --> 00:46:31,333
my fiancé, as it were.
451
00:46:34,499 --> 00:46:36,249
And as we all know,
452
00:46:37,499 --> 00:46:41,166
a husband can be advantageous
in emancipation as well.
453
00:46:43,708 --> 00:46:46,829
It's merely a magazine.
How much can the foolish thing cost?
454
00:46:46,833 --> 00:46:50,495
Stach, I'm not saying it's unprofitable,
but it is. And you know it.
455
00:46:50,499 --> 00:46:53,787
I'm not saying you shouldn't do it.
You won't listen regardless.
456
00:46:53,791 --> 00:46:57,162
All I'm saying is we haven't the means.
457
00:46:57,166 --> 00:47:00,374
Stach, no. Stop, Stach.
458
00:47:01,624 --> 00:47:02,458
Stach.
459
00:47:04,083 --> 00:47:06,458
We have nothing left.
460
00:47:07,416 --> 00:47:09,041
Or, more precisely,
461
00:47:09,541 --> 00:47:12,333
we have less than nothing.
462
00:47:13,333 --> 00:47:17,499
If the money from your oil wells
does not start flowing in soon,
463
00:47:18,541 --> 00:47:19,583
then,
464
00:47:20,499 --> 00:47:22,999
I cannot bring myself to speak the rest.
465
00:47:23,499 --> 00:47:26,374
I am terrified to even think on it.
466
00:47:27,041 --> 00:47:31,999
I dread to think
of the absolute shit we are sunk in!
467
00:47:36,874 --> 00:47:37,999
Stach.
468
00:47:38,708 --> 00:47:39,874
Stach.
469
00:47:40,583 --> 00:47:41,541
Stach.
470
00:47:42,041 --> 00:47:45,041
S WOKULSKI
DEPARTMENT STORE
471
00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:58,874
Are you intentionally delaying
the purchase of The Ivy?
472
00:49:03,916 --> 00:49:06,083
No. What I mean is, shortly.
473
00:49:07,208 --> 00:49:09,249
-Shortly?
-Yes.
474
00:49:10,833 --> 00:49:12,249
What are we waiting for?
475
00:49:13,208 --> 00:49:14,583
For...
476
00:49:17,833 --> 00:49:20,874
-Can we get back to this tomorrow?
-Tomorrow?
477
00:49:42,583 --> 00:49:43,666
Izabela.
478
00:49:47,249 --> 00:49:50,995
I'll join you in a moment.
479
00:49:50,999 --> 00:49:51,833
Of course.
480
00:50:20,916 --> 00:50:22,791
Do you think I do not see it?
481
00:50:24,708 --> 00:50:25,749
What?
482
00:50:27,499 --> 00:50:29,583
The way you look upon Miss Łęcka.
483
00:50:31,416 --> 00:50:32,995
It is not merely me.
484
00:50:32,999 --> 00:50:34,370
Whenever she appears,
485
00:50:34,374 --> 00:50:37,749
you gape at her
like a man with pricks for eyes.
486
00:51:06,458 --> 00:51:08,041
Ladies and gentlemen...
487
00:51:10,124 --> 00:51:15,329
as some of you are well aware,
it is my distinct privilege to invite
488
00:51:15,333 --> 00:51:19,208
the star of tonight's performance
to the Grand Theatre.
489
00:51:19,791 --> 00:51:25,374
I speak not of the wonderful actors
we are about to witness,
490
00:51:26,916 --> 00:51:31,374
but of the spirit us movens
behind this evening's entertainment.
491
00:51:32,583 --> 00:51:37,041
A woman whose love of art
makes me jealous at times.
492
00:51:38,958 --> 00:51:43,708
Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you to join me
in applauding Countess Izabela Łęcka.
493
00:51:55,333 --> 00:51:57,041
This is a momentous occasion.
494
00:51:57,624 --> 00:51:58,749
Maestro, if you please.
495
00:52:10,041 --> 00:52:11,458
Adam Asnyk, "Adoration".
496
00:52:14,624 --> 00:52:16,041
"Even in death...
497
00:52:17,124 --> 00:52:18,374
I shall adore you"
498
00:52:19,958 --> 00:52:23,745
"And I shall never forget Neither
beneath the earth, nor in heaven..."
499
00:52:23,749 --> 00:52:24,833
Your love...
500
00:52:25,333 --> 00:52:26,499
"Your brightness"
501
00:52:28,666 --> 00:52:30,999
"For you were, to me, no idle dream"
502
00:52:32,791 --> 00:52:35,370
"Nor a rainbow born of futile senses"
503
00:52:35,374 --> 00:52:40,416
"But you were my spirit's reviving desire
Of eternal love!"
504
00:52:42,541 --> 00:52:46,874
"You did not envelop me
With dreamy caresses"
505
00:52:47,499 --> 00:52:50,958
"Nor did you surge like a fiery wave
Upon my longing breast"
506
00:52:52,458 --> 00:52:58,166
"You did not lead me to a bed of roses
Where only bodies dissolve in ecstasy"
507
00:52:59,708 --> 00:53:02,124
"But you awakened in me
A desire for beauty"
508
00:53:03,416 --> 00:53:04,958
"An infinite power"
509
00:53:24,208 --> 00:53:25,374
Izabela.
510
00:53:33,916 --> 00:53:35,499
Will you consent to marry me?
511
00:54:04,583 --> 00:54:05,624
Yes.
512
00:54:06,749 --> 00:54:08,249
We cannot hear you!
513
00:54:12,791 --> 00:54:13,666
Yes.
514
00:54:15,374 --> 00:54:16,624
Louder!
515
00:54:23,624 --> 00:54:24,749
Yes!
516
00:54:25,249 --> 00:54:26,416
Bravo!
517
00:54:32,333 --> 00:54:33,374
Congratulations.
518
00:54:48,999 --> 00:54:50,162
Bravo!
519
00:54:50,166 --> 00:54:51,370
Well,
520
00:54:51,374 --> 00:54:54,579
that doll, Miss Łęcka,
is no longer yours to claim.
521
00:54:54,583 --> 00:54:56,208
Not for you,
522
00:54:56,708 --> 00:54:59,833
for she has been bought
by the very man you despise,
523
00:55:00,583 --> 00:55:03,999
while in your inmost soul,
you long to be exactly like him.
524
00:55:04,749 --> 00:55:06,999
You are pathetic.
525
00:55:07,749 --> 00:55:10,166
Utterly pathetic. Do you hear me?
526
00:55:12,208 --> 00:55:14,124
I am speaking to you...
527
00:55:16,124 --> 00:55:17,916
you prick.
528
00:55:21,541 --> 00:55:22,999
Will you forgive me?
529
00:55:29,416 --> 00:55:31,291
Will you forgive me this love?
530
00:55:32,666 --> 00:55:35,541
Bela, it is prompted by love.
I could wait no longer.
531
00:56:36,666 --> 00:56:38,454
At last, Bela.
532
00:56:38,458 --> 00:56:39,833
I am overjoyed.
533
00:56:41,749 --> 00:56:43,083
Is it too extravagant?
534
00:56:45,708 --> 00:56:48,083
Is it too overwhelming for you?
535
00:56:48,999 --> 00:56:51,124
I... understand.
536
00:56:53,833 --> 00:56:56,041
Everyone will remember this night.
537
00:57:03,708 --> 00:57:05,874
Izabela, I know
538
00:57:07,708 --> 00:57:10,999
that I should have bought
The Ivy beforehand.
539
00:57:14,499 --> 00:57:16,041
But such matters take time.
540
00:57:18,208 --> 00:57:19,041
It can't
541
00:57:20,249 --> 00:57:21,583
be done overnight.
542
00:57:25,458 --> 00:57:26,458
Come to my bed.
543
00:58:20,791 --> 00:58:22,041
Undress.
544

Undress!
545
00:58:33,916 --> 00:58:34,999
What is wrong?
546
00:58:37,249 --> 00:58:38,874
Have you something to hide?
